They work.........!!!

I was a little worried that these 3-fold cards wouldn't work and would need amending but they work just fine...... which makes me happy!!! Now for something a little more complicated..... eek!

Baby.....

A peep at a section of a "New Baby" 3 fold card I'm working on today! Little lions are so fun to draw! I will post some pics when they are all mocked up!

I'm resisting finishing early to go sit in the garden...... Its just so sunny and warm outside, lets hope we have a super sunny weekend ;)

2 hot to pop!

Its that time of year again...... Pop-up time!! Usually I get a little stressed with doing these but this year so far its going well. I'm actually enjoying it! This butterfly design is my favorite!! It fits nicely with this sunny weather!! Lets hope it works when I cut it out!

Looks a little like....

Its back on with some Christmas designs again this week. I'm trying to make this design look like its cut out..... not sure if I've achieved it yet. I love the style of Rob Ryan. He does a much better job than me.... truly inspirational stuff, I simply love it!! Have a look for yourself! rob-ryan.blogspot.com

Moe decides!

I got sent these pics of my "Moe" yesterday......... looks like he is in charge of the remote these days!!! Good old "Fatty Moe"

THE WORLD CUP BEGINS.....

I couldn't let today pass without mentioning the footie!! I have "World cup Fever" or a small dose of it anyhow!!! I will be supporting England, lets hope our boys do us proud!

Chester you say.....

I ended up having a day out in "Chester" this week. The weather was not kind, it rained lots! Despite the rain I had a lovely day exploring the pretty roman streets..... Popped into Paperchase for a few inspirational snaps...... I think I could spend hours in there!! Beautiful!!! As was Chester..... If you haven't been I would recommend it!!!

Something new!

I'm having a go at doing some sets of everyday cards....... I've got loads of ideas.... I'm trying to mix hand drawn elements with a more graphic style. Its nice to be working on lots of things at the same time, cant wait to print them off to see if they work!

In a Spin!

Santa's in a spin...... A peek at the spinner bag I'm working on today for a customer in the US... once finished he will be juggling candy canes and cookies!! Yum!

Owl number 2

Owl number 2!!! I designed this little Owl earlier today......... I think I like drawing OWLS!!! I like his little red tie!! Reminds me of someone special!!

Fatty Moe!

I haven't blogged about "Moe" in a while, I miss him lots.... he is as fat as ever. I hope to have him live with me again one day! ;(

more snow!!

This week I'm working on some coordinating designs that were requested by a customer at Surtex..... there is no getting away from the snow theme just yet! I think a day by the sea is well over due!!!

Snow on such a warm day......

I've been developing a new winter woodland set! Seems a little strange to be working on such a wintry theme especially after the hot sunny weather we have been having! I'm loving tea breaks in the garden...... hope its sunny where you are!

Floral....

Thought I would share these! A couple of designs I did last year for the US market, they sold at Surtex 2009. By now my agent will be stateside preparing for the show..... I am keeping all my fingers and toes crossed that he finds homes for some of my new work!

I'm spending this week doing accounts and admin..... I just hate it, would much rather be creating pretty things!

I made it onto Print Pattern!!! Happy!!!!

I am so Happy!!! I made it onto "Print Pattern"...... Check out the link printpattern.blogspot.com
